The wreckage of the Air Algerie flight AH5017 which crashed with 116 people on board, including more than 50 French nationals, has been discovered in Mali, west Africa, officials have said.
The office of French President François Hollande confirmed the announcement, saying in a message on its website the wreckage had been clearly identified despite the disintegration of the aircraft and a French military unit has been dispatched to secure the site and gather evidence. French investigators have now concluded the flight broke apart when it hit the ground, the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told RTL radio.
